I have a front wheel that is a 19"x9.5" and it has a backspace of 6 7/8"
what is the offset? and is it for a C5 or C6?
thanks for any help

offset is approximately 40mm and it would be a front C6 Z or Grandsport wheel ... if it is a Chevy original equipment wheel it is a ZR1 wheel or a front wheel from the Grand Sport 19/20 optional wheel package

GS and Z06 front wheels are 18x9.5 not 19x9.5.

thanks for the help I measured them again and came up with 7 1/16" backspace they seem to fit pretty flush on C5 Z06 but it has a track camber on the front. the wheel is a Iforged Classic

Just trying to figure out who I can sell them too cause the car now has flares and is caged for the track.
